Weekend Wrap Up & This Weeks Deals

>> Sunday, January 31, 2010

I can't even begin to express how tired I am right now. I cooked all weekend and we are ready for February to begin. After bagging up the last little big of the world's best ever homemade pizza sauce, here's how my punch list is looking:

Wild Rice Soup x4
Zuppa Tuscana Soup x5
Lasagna x2
Sunshine Chicken x4
Brown Rice x6
Pizza Sauce x5
Chili x2
Spaghetti Sauce x2
Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls x4
Garlic Bread x4
Cornbread Mix x2
Pizza Crust x5

Yes, that's right. All of my cooking is completely finished! Hooray! I decided to leave the few baking items till tomorrow, since my knees are going to buckle if I'm standing upright at the counter for another second. But I'd say that's not bad for one weekend! I did all of my cooking both Saturday and Sunday in the evenings, and that was the main reason it took both days. If I had started in the morning, I should have been able to do it all in one day. Maybe next month.

As I am so exhausted from all this cooking, I'm going to head off to bed now and work on my shopping lists for this week early in the morning. Stay tuned, there should be some good deals this week. A few highlights I've seen already are:


Avocados - $0.39 each at Aldi

Nabisco Crackers - FREE with doubled coupon at Rainbow Foods

Tostitos Chips and Dip - $1.00 each with coupons at Target

Philadelphia Cream Cheese - $0.50 with doubled coupon at Rainbow Foods


Also, don't forget to check all your favorite online coupon spots in the morning, as most of them will be resetting their stock and loading up fresh new coupons! Goodnight all!

(I'm not going to bother with a Saturday Savings Summary this week. I shopped a LOT and I saved a LOT this week. I also cooked for an army, so we'll get back to that next week.)

Freezer Cooking: February 2010, part 2

Amazingly, I got a lot done yesterday for my February Freezer Cooking. My progress so far:



Wild Rice Soup x2
Zuppa Tuscana Soup x5
Lasagna x2
Sunshine Chicken x4
Brown Rice x6
Pizza Crust x5
Pizza Sauce x5
Chili x2
Spaghetti Sauce x2
Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls x4
Garlic Bread x4
Cornbread Mix x2



Yes, Zuppa Tuscana Soup increased from x2 to x5, I made a bit more than I planned on making. My Wild Rice Soup ingredients are all finished, I just have to throw it all together. The pizza makings are very easy and quick to make so they will be done in no time, spaghetti sauce and lasagna go hand in hand, and then I just have my baking items, which I think I will finish this evening. A great start to the month of February, when I'm trying lots of new things to stretch our budget and save some money.

I've also been pouring over the grocery ads in today's paper, I've starting my deal lists and will hopefully have those done tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Saving Money with Reusable Bags


I'm really trying to make an effort to use my reusable canvas bags when I'm shopping. And I am finding that I really enjoy using them too! Not only are the extremely durable, so there is no worries of paper bags ripping and grocery spillage (Sinbad anyone? Inside joke, I digress...), but generally they all have these really nice long handles. You can swing your bag of groceries over your shoulder much in the same way you would a diaper bag or purse, which makes them very easy to carry.

Another great benefit to using these durable bags is the perks that different stores are offering to customers to promote the use. I've been keeping a mental note of the retailers in my area and their reusable bag promos:

  • Target: $0.05 off/credit for each reusable bag
  • Rainbow Foods: $0.05 off/credit for each reusable bag
  • CVS: Green Bag Tag, $1.00 ECB for every four visits (tag and card must be scanned each time)

Are there any other stores offering discounts or perks for using your own bags? If so, please leave a comment and let me know!

Here is another great printable coupon. Get a coupon here for $1.00/1 Purex Compete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets.

I personally LOVE these. They make laundry super simple. My husband loves them because there is nothing to pour or measure and you can't forget a part of your 'laundry formula' with these, as they include detergent, softener and anti-static all in one!

They can however be pricey, so watch for a good sale or BOGO offer for CVS or Walgreens. Enjoy!

Meal Planning & Freezer Cooking: February 2010


January has already come to an end. I can't believe how fast it went. I'm working on our meal plan for February, this month trying to keep it really simple. I only got about half of my meal plan for January finished in advance since I had so many sick and teething little toddlers in the month of January. This month will hopefully go much more smoothly.

Freezer Cooking has been a fantastic way for us to cut down on our grocery spending, and seriously cut down on the amount we might spend eating out. Knowing there is a fully cooked, delicious homemade meal already at home is a good way to keep us out of the fast food drive-thru. It really simplifies dinner time too, since I'm not making every meal from scratch every single night.



So for this month, here is the plan:


1. Wild Rice Soup & Bread
2. Lasagna
3. Sunshine Chicken, Brown Rice & Veggie
4. Chili & Cornbread
5. Steak, Sweet Potato Fries & Veggie
6. Homemade Pizza
7. Crock-pot: Beef Roast with Veggies
8. Zuppa Tuscana Soup & Bread
9. Grilled Sandwiches
10. Kung Pao Chicken & Jasmine Rice
11. Spaghetti
12. Sunshine Chicken, Brown Rice & Veggie
13. Homemade Pizza
14. Crock-pot: BBQ Pork
15. Pork Chops, Brown Rice & Veggie
16. Lasagna
17. Wild Rice Soup & Bread
18. Grilled Sandwiches
19. Sunshine Chicken, Brown Rice & Veggie
20. Homemade Pizza
21. Crock-pot: Beef Roast with Veggies
22. Pork Chops, Brown Rice & Veggie
23. Grilled Sandwiches
24. Spaghetti
25. Zuppa Tuscana Soup & Bread
26. Steak, Sweet Potato Fries & Veggie
27. Homemade Pizza
28. Crock-pot: BBQ Pork

I'm planning for (hopefully!!) one big Freezer Cooking Day, possibly tomorrow or Sunday of this weekend. I'll be getting back into full swing grocery shopping (with coupons, of course!) this month to restock the cupboards and freezer. It was really nice to cut back on shopping in January and work with what we had on hand.

Looking forward to cooking up a storm and getting great deals in February!

A New Wallet & A New Way of Saving Money

For a few weeks now, all over the 'blog-o-sphere', this great tutorial and super cute envelope system from Kelleigh has been a huge hit.

I had already been seriously contemplating going to an all cash system for groceries and household items, so when I first saw this template and great idea, I knew I had to do it!

First, I needed a new wallet, and I had my eye on one for a few weeks. It was $20.00, and I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much on just a wallet. So I waited, but I just couldn't get my mind off the one I had found. I found it at a store where my husband and I had recently purchased new winter boots. You see, we live here in this barren, arctic tundra of Minnesota (at least it is from Nov-March) and neither of us had really good winter boots. And since I hate to be cold, we both decided to invest in a good pair of boots. And my toes will forever be happy for that investment. But what came along with our boots purchase was a membership rewards program from the store we had shopped at. So, just a few weeks after spotting the perfect new wallet, in my mailbox were two $10.00 gift certificates to that store, a reward for our recent purchase of boots. Perfect timing.

So this weekend, I headed back and snagged my wallet for exactly $0.01. Yep, a penny. Then I was off to my moms house and her great craft room to whip up my envelope system. Here are my results:








I LOVE IT! I made mine to hold eight envelopes. Four weeks of groceries, one for ECBs, one for extra coupons to carry on me, one for extra/leftover cash and one for receipts.

I'm truly hoping this will help us even further in our efforts to save money and live well on less. I certainly know it's hard for me to part with cold hard cash, a lot harder then it is to pull out and swipe the old debit card, so I have a good feeling this will work.

What a fun and pretty way to save money!!

Has anyone else switched to an all cash system? How has it been working for you?

Saturday Savings Summary - 1/23/10

>> Saturday, January 23, 2010

I had a GREAT week shopping and got lots of great deals. Lots of trips to different stores, but the work paid off.

Target: A great week for coupon match-ups. Most everything was free or just a few pennies after coupons. The only real expense here was my detour to the children's clearance racks in the clothing department.


2 bottles of nivea body wash, 2 boxes of kotex pantiliners, 2 bottles of method handsoap, 3 boxes of bandaids, 3 johnsons buddy bars, one travel size bottle of baby shampoo, three packs of dental floss, two pairs of girls toddler pants (one for each twin) and two boys toddler sweaters

Total Value of All Items (before coupons): $40.05
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$26.50
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $13.55
66% Savings!
**the actual value is higher, but Target's receipt didn't factor in the savings from the sale prices or the clearance on the clothing, so my full value calculation is at the already reduced prices.


Then, my many trips to CVS. But I didn't mind, for I love my CVS stores. It took several trips to multiple locations to get everything on my shopping list this week, as not everyone was in stock throughout the whole week. Here is a shot of all items purchased:

6 cans of Oust, 3 boxes of SoyJoy bars(6pks), 2 boxes of Tampax Pearl, 3 packs of Ivory bar soap(3pks), 1 tube of Crest toothpaste that included a free travel size tube of toothpaste, 2 sticks of dove deodorant and 1 Almay three shade eyeshadow compact.

Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $87.96
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$80.86
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $7.10
92% Savings!


And this week I had a stop at Rainbow both on Wednesday and again on Saturday. Here's how those trips went:

2 gallons of whole milk, 3 boxes of Cheerios, 3 boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios, 2 boxes of microwave popcorn, 4 bottles of Febreze, 5 boxes of Dreamfields pasta, 8 tubes of Blistex, 2 tubs of sour cream, 2 bottles of V8 VFusion juice, 4 bags of Halls cough drops, 2 Yo-Plus yogurts 4packs, 1 cfl lightbulb, 1 tube of Crest ProHealth toothpaste, 6lbs of bananas and 8 cups of Yoplait yogurt

5 boxes of Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry solution, 6 cfl lightbulbs

I made the second trip on Saturday to get a good deal on the Purex that I noticed while I was shopping on Wednesday. I had several more coupons for the lightbulbs, which made them free so I picked up those too.

All together, my savings were good for what I was able to pick up.

Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $190.70
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$144.14
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $46.56
76% Savings!


So for the week, I got several great buys, lots of freebies and a few treats.

This Week's Spending: $67.21 (for items valuing $318.71)
This Week's Savings: $251.50
Percentage of Savings: 79%

Saturday Savings Summary - 1/16/10

Another good, yet light week of shopping for us here. Better late than never, here is my Saturday Savings Summary from last week. (It's been crazy over here, two toddler teething!)

Stop one: Rainbow Foods on (of course) Wednesday. Just two transactions, but good results. Another yogurt money-maker, and a good money-maker on pasta too.


5lb bag of flour, 4 canisters of Quaker oats (free), 2 boxes of dishwasher detergent gel packs (40 washes in all) 4 boxes of better-for-you pasta (money-maker), 2 boxes of all natural, nitrate free deli sliced ham, 4 four cup packs of yogurt cups (money-maker), 1 tub of cottage cheese and 1 gallon of milk (milk not pictured)

Total Value of All Items (before sales or coupons): $58.75
Total Discounts from sales and coupons: -$45.56
Total Out Of Pocket Expense: $13.19
78% Savings!

Stop two: CVS. And, guess what? I lost my receipt!!! The only things I picked up this week at CVS were a Green Bag, a Green Bag Tag and one makeup item. There wasn't much on sale that I needed or wanted. After coupons and ECBs I spent somewhere around $1.25 OOP and got $4.00 in ECBs back.

Eating from the Pantry this month has been fun, and has been great on the grocery budget since I haven't been shopping as heavily this month.

Looking forward to next week. Check out my post for Rainbow, Cub and CVS for ideas to make your shopping trips this week frugal and fun!
